The Tektronix TCP0030A is a 30 A AC/DC current probe built for direct connection to oscilloscopes equipped with the TekVPI probe interface. It is a high-performance, easy-to-use probe that delivers greater than 120 MHz of bandwidth with selectable 5 A and 30 A measurement ranges, and it adds exceptional low-current measurement capability down to 1 mA for demanding current-measurement work.

The TCP0030A is applied across a broad set of current-measurement tasks. Listed applications include power supplies, semiconductor devices, power inverters and converters, electronic ballasts, industrial and consumer electronics, mobile communications, motor drives, and transportation systems — wherever AC or DC current needs to be captured accurately on an oscilloscope.

ValueTronics stocks the TCP0030A in its own 20,000-square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer.

Brand Heritage

Tektronix, founded in 1946, was acquired by Danaher Corporation in 2007 and became part of Fortive Corporation when Fortive was spun off from Danaher in 2016. The Tektronix brand has remained in continuous use throughout these ownership changes.

Accessories Supplied

  • Instruction manual 071-3006-xx
  • Probe ground lead - 6 in. length 196-3120-xx
  • Nylon carrying case 016-1952-xx

Important: Maximum bare-wire voltage: 150 V CAT II (300 V CAT II with insulated wire).
Important: TCP0030A is designed for direct connection to oscilloscopes with the TekVPI probe interface and is powered directly by the oscilloscope; it is not a standalone instrument and requires a compatible TekVPI oscilloscope to operate.
Important: For best support, download and install the latest version of the oscilloscope software from www.tek.com.
Important: The Current Loop, 1 Turn, 50 Ω with BNC connector (order 067-2396-00) used for Performance Verification is a recommended accessory and is not included with the probe.
